It has over 79,800 hectares of planted oil palm estates, over 7,700 hectares of sugar cane and a further 9,200 hectares of grazing pasture, (some of which will be converted to oil palm); twelve oil mills; two refineries, one in PNG and one in Liverpool, UK; and a seed production and plant breeding facility. The Company is listed on both the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and on the Port Moresby Stock Exchange in PNG.

NBPOL is fully vertically integrated, producing its own seed (which it also sells globally), planting, cultivating and harvesting its own land, and processing and refining palm oil (both in PNG and the UK).

NBPOL has high regard for the importance of its sustainability credentials. It has achieved 100% certification of all estates, mills and smallholders to the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil ('RSPO') standard. NBPOL continues to be active in proving its performance through certification to ISO 14001 and its close involvement with other innovative initiatives.
